“LULU!”

The sweet smell of reuniting friends was such a comfort to Faye as she smashed herself against her best friend in the entire world—other than Alex, of course—as the small Asian girl let herself into Faye’s apartment. She was still her short self: long silky, black hair, small brown eyes, adorable little thin mouth, and petite body that any woman craved. Lulu was the cutest yet most dangerous person Faye had ever met in her entire life.

The two hugged for a few more moments, giggling and chuckling at the fact that it had only been two mere months since they’d seen each other. But a lot had happened in two months—well, for Faye at least.

“Oh my God,” Faye shakes her head as they pull apart and drift farther into the small apartment. “You have to tell me every where you went. What you saw, who you met, what food you ate. Everything, everything, everything. Have you and John picked a date yet? What about a venue? There’s so much to be—”

“Whoa! Slow down fast-pants!” Lulu laughs, rolling her eyes as she drops her satchel onto the dining room table. “First, let’s talk about your sex life.”

The other girl’s eyes widen at this. “Uh, uh…what? What sex life?” Her eyes drift to the bathroom door where Alex was currently showering. Shit. Lulu really shouldn’t have just dropped in unannounced…

“I know you finally got some while I was away. Spill everything.”

She shakes her head a second time, not looking at her friend as she poured them two cups of coffee. She knew if they made eye contact Lulu would know she was lying through her teeth. “I promise I haven’t slept with anyone recently. I guess I just realized that I don’t need sex to truly relax.”

“Do not tell me that you’ve masturbated, because we both know how much you hate pleasuring yourself,” Lulu winks, reminiscing on the present she gave her friend just a year earlier.

Faye freezes at the subtle hint towards the vibrating dildo she had received from her friend for her last birthday. The trouble that little toy had stirred up…

“Come on, Faye. If you did sleep with someone and you are refraining from telling me, that is the worst thing a friend could do to another friend. I have wanted you to get laid for months now! It’s been what, a whole year and a half since you had an orgasm?”

More like an hour and a half. Faye clears her throat. “I don’t need an orgasm to feel better about myself.”

“So what, you’re just gonna watch Ryan Gosling movies to get your fix of passion?”

Faye finishes making their caffeinated drinks and turns away from her counter, rolling her eyes at her best friend seated at the table once more. “Leave it alone, Lu. My sex life is none of your concern anyway.”

“Uh, I beg your pardon,” the short Asian rolls her eyes for probably the millionth time since she walked through the door. “It is definitely my concern. As your friend, it is my duty to make sure your sexual appetite is being fulfilled.” She grabs the mug by her small, dainty hands and takes a long sip of coffee as if to emphasize this.

Faye sighs a hefty exhale. “How can I convince you to drop the subject?”

“By telling me his name.”

The taller girl throws her arms in the air in exasperation. “I will not tell you his name.” By saying this, she had once again confirmed that she had slept with someone recently, causing a wide grin to break out onto Lulu’s face.

“You’re really bad at keeping your mouth shut,” she smiles, drumming her fingers on the table. “Can I make a guess for who it is?”

“If you want us to go back to being ninth graders, then be my guest.”

Lulu takes a deep inhale, holding it in as she closes her eyes to think over different possibilities. Faye waits patiently, sipping at her coffee before throwing a glance at the clock. She gulps upon realizing Alex would be out of the shower any minute now—she just hopes he has the decency to put on clothes before walking out. Lulu would be quite surprised to see Alex in nothing but a birthday suit.

“Jack,” she finally concludes.

“EW,” Faye exclaims loudly, wrinkling her nose and scrunching her brows.

Lulu groans. “Zack?”

“NO,” her friend replies, making a face more disgusted than anything before.

“I give up then!” Lulu cries out. Just as she does, the fall of water from the shower shuts off. Faye’s breath escapes her. “Who is it?”

Bathroom door opens.

“No one,” Faye says quickly. “Alex! We have company. Are you dressed?”

“Definitely not,” he replies cheekily. “Thanks for telling me. Who’s over?” Faye hears him open up his bedroom door, and then detects the sound of a drawer opening. Crisis averted. “Is it Lulu? Didn’t you say she’d be back soon?”

“It is me, asswipe,” said girl retaliates. Faye giggles into her hand. “And when did you start walking around the apartment naked?”

“My house, my body—my right to show it off,” Alex yells back.

Lulu rolls her eyes, looking back at her best girl friend. “Of all the people to share an apartment with, and you chose that dick face.” Of course she was just joking, but Faye laughs and agrees with a nod of her head all the same.

A few moments later, Alex saunters out of his bedroom and reveals himself to the two women seated at the dining room table. Faye keeps her dirty thoughts to herself at his cardigan and button-up shirt duo—it’s like his sense of style was enough to heat her up. He grins at Lulu, giving her a pat on the shoulder as he passes her into the kitchen. “How was travelling with John?” he asks as he opens the fridge to grab a couple bottles of Gatorade.

“Amazing,” she grins. “The Eiffel tower, Big Ben, the pasta in Italy.” She gives a satisfied hum. “Better than words, if you ask me.” There was a tick of silence before Lulu clears her throat and asks the question Faye had been hoping she’d keep to herself while Alex was in front of them. “So who has Faye been with lately?”

Alex freezes in front of the counter, his back to the two girls. If Faye could face palm herself, she would. But she instead stays with her face just blushing a mad, raging red.

The boy in the room looks over at Lulu after a solid five seconds of not responding. “What do you mean by ‘with’?”

“As in someone who finally gave her an orgasm,” she answers, Faye’s face flaming at the sides now.

Alex chokes on the sip of his Gatorade, coughing for a bit before finding the breath to speak. “How do expect me to know the answer to that?” he wasn’t looking at Lulu, instead gazing intently at his arm in hopes that she wouldn’t realize he’s lying.

She shrugs. “You live with her. Don’t you tell each other everything?”

Her friend hits her upside the arm. “Not things like that.” Instead I just let him bend me over the arm of the couch and give me a nice long spanking. “Those are things two opposite-sex friends keep from each other.”

While Lulu’s attention was on Faye, Alex stares at the back of his lover’s head, wondering how hard it was for her to be lying right now. Especially to Lulu—those two girls were closer than peanut butter and jelly. How was she going to cope without being able to tell her best friend that she was finally getting some?

“Fine, I guess Alex doesn’t know,” Lulu gives in, putting her hands up in the surrender pose. “I just don’t see why you won’t tell me who it is, Faye.”

“Can’t you just respect her privacy?” he cuts in when Faye doesn’t reply.

The little Asian girl sends one of her famous death glares straight between Alex’s eyes. She was small, but she was feisty, and he hadn’t been the target of her anger in two months. He had been hoping to keep it that way. “No, I can't. Not when she’s keeping such a heavy secret from me.”

Faye sighs. “Lulu—”

“I think this is my cue to leave,” Alex says quickly, grabbing his keys before shoving his wallet in his back pocket. He comes to the two girls at the table, smiling. “This has been a lovely conversation and an invasion of Faye’s privacy, but I must go see Flyzik about the upcoming tour.” He turns and looks down at the secret he’ll go to his grave with. “I’ll see you later tonight. I might be home in time for dinner. And call me if Lulu ends up strangling you.” Lulu snorts before he bends down and presses a chaste kiss to Faye’s forehead. Then he’s walking out the door.

Since the beginning of their friendship, Alex has always shown affectionate gestures to Faye. Even before this arrangement, even before they lived together. Forehead pecks, too-long embraces, hands grazing the small of her back—it was a normal thing to see Alex showing his best girl friend a little sentiment like that. But this time, Lulu felt something different. Something in the air that wasn’t friendship. Something a little more. And she waited until the door was shut behind Alex, waited until she no longer heard his heavy footsteps, waited a little longer for Faye to not return her stare, before slamming her hands down on the table.

“OH MY GOD,” Lulu proclaims. “It’s Alex isn’t it?”

“Excuse me?” Faye screams back, fear striking her straight through the heart seeing that Lulu had hit the bull’s-eye right on.

“Holy shit,” she grins wide, jumping out of her chair and throwing her arms in the air. “You and Alex finally did it?! I had a bet with John on how long it would take! When did it happen?!”

Faye stands as well, shaking her head. “No, no. Alex and I are…we aren’t…”

“You’re lying,” her friend sing-songs. “You are so lying!”

“No I’m not!” she retaliates, stomping her foot like a frustrated child. “Please, Lulu, drop this. It’s becoming a little annoying and straight-up rude for you to be poking at me for information I am not going to give you. Either leave or get me so irritated that I throw something at you.”

There was a large block of silence, one where the two friends were just staring each other down, before Lulu releases a loud breath. This wasn’t something to ruin a friendship over, not something that years and years should go to waste about. So, even though her will did not want to drop it, Lulu sits down and lets it go.

For now.

“So, the first place John and I went to was London, which was amazing, especially because…”

Faye releases a relieved exhale, cautiously sitting back down. Her gaze drifts to the door, hoping Alex wasn’t too upset with how far Lulu’s questions went. The worst part was that she knew she would find out later tonight.
